KFC, laptops and strippers… it sure does pay to be a prisoner in South Africa. Well, in some of the prisons anyway.
On Monday a handful of photos showing strippers at what looks like a South African prison started doing the rounds, and according to eNCA the department of correctional services has confirmed their authenticity.
5FM’s DJ Fresh posted this Tweet with pictures of the ‘event’ as the department calls it, and folks couldn’t deal.

The images show inmates from the Johannesburg Medium B Prison cavorting with ‘entertainers’, correctional services spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo confirmed the incident.

Police minister Fikile Mbalula was quick to set the record straight on who’s who here… before the public started roasting him for justice minister Michael Masutha’s department’s screw-up.
I'm the Minister of Police not Minister of Correctional Services my tweets. I thank you.
